OK, say I live in the shadowrun world and I'm in a band. Not a large band, just me and a few chummers who play shows around town and sell our album "out the trunk" so to speak.

The primary way for a band to make money is performing music live and selling merchandise. Selling music itself is sort of secondary to that, and by 2070 most artist might just accept that people are going to be able to get the music for free.
